Patient's question:
My little girl is one and a half years old. Recently, while bathing, I noticed hard lumps under both sides of her chest. It's suspected to be precocious puberty. I want to take her for a check-up. What tests are needed? How can the difference between pseudo-precocious puberty and precocious puberty be distinguished?Doctor's answer:
Given the possibility of precocious puberty, it is recommended to complete a bilateral breast ultrasound examination and, if necessary, conduct hormone level tests to clarify the diagnosis and initiate timely treatment. It is best to go to the hospital's endocrinology department for the corresponding examinations and treatments. At the same time, it is important to control the child's daily food intake in daily diet, and reduce the consumption of certain foods such as refined sugars, chocolate, candied fruits, fruit cans, carbonated drinks, sweet drinks, jams, ice cream, sweet biscuits, cakes, sweet bread, sweet pastries, and fats. Smoked and pickled foods, fried and barbecue foods, and similar foods. You can increase the consumption of foods such as milk, green vegetables, spinach, carrots, and black fungus.
